Well, they might find the building it was based in, but the actual factory closed down after a production run of a single unit when a clumsy worker broke the mould.

My guess is the latest version is a Chinese knock off. Sure, it ticks a number of boxes but its obviously based on an earlier prototype so it doesn't have the same impact and then there’s the question of its longevity.

Yes, credit where its due, that was classic Spock (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if there is a similar scene in TOS ),

I thought Zachary was incredible in the role. That scene where he was narrating the captain's log after the destruction of Vulcan and the camera crept up on his face while he intones "I am now a member of an endangered species..." (paraphrasing) choked me up. The look on his face, the bleakness in his eyes...

He's a good actor, that kid. I wish him well. And I know he's got Nimoy in his corner so he'll be okay.
